21、Living things have a life cycle. They are born, grow, and die. Even though stars are not living things, they do have a life cycle. A star is born in a cloud of dust and gas. A young star is blue and very hot. A middle-aged star is yellow. It cools and becomes a red giant. Finally, the star explodes. The light of a star tells astronomers many things about the star. Annie Jump Cannon was an American astronormer who carefully classified (分级) stars by looking at their light.

Annie Jump Cannon was born in 1863. Her mother taught her about the consellations (星座) when she was a girl. Annie was interested in studying the stars when she grew up. But not many women went to college in those days. Also, Annie had an illness that caused her lost most of her hearing. But these things didn’t stop Annie from earning two college degrees.

Cannon was hired to work at the Harvard College Observatory (天文台). Astronomers there used telescopes and took photographs of the sky. It was an exciting new science.

The light from each star passed through a prism (棱镜) in the telescope. A prism is a piece of cut glass. Light passing through a prism is separated into a rainbow. Cannon studied the photos of each band of colors. Barly photos were black and white. She could not see the colors. She could only see different dark lines. She used them to classify stars from younger and very hot to older and cooler.

Annie Jump Cannon classified more than 300,000 stars! Her star catalog is still used by astronomers all over the world. During her lifetime, Cannon received many honors. In 1934, an award was named for her. The Annie J. Cannon Award in Astronomy is given every year. It is given to a woman astronomer from North America.

   The lead writer of the new report on koalas is Valentina Mella of the University of Sydney. It was the earlier i【2】, she explains, that the animals got most of the water they needed in the leaves they ate.

They find that koalas are a【5】 at night. They live in trees and depend on them for food, drinking and also for resting places.

Koalas spend most of the time high up in the trees. They eat lots of leaves. An adult koala normally eats b【6】 0. 5 and 0.8 kg of leaves a day. Koalas sleep about 20 hours a day.

Mella notes that a koala usually spends 98% of its 1【7】 in trees. She also notes that the only time they come down to the ground is to discover another tree with b【8】 leaves.
